what is the datatype of COLUMN_NAME?
and I am not familiar with the '0X...' syntax.
are you trying to stuff packed-decimal into a column? |

Please provide better info for someone to be able to help. . .
How does ASCII relate to the requirement? I suspect the data when stored in the table will not be ascii. . .

That is not a "hex char" - it might be 3 hex chars. . . Show the input data using HEX ON and show more than 3 bytes. . .
You need to also post the program or database definitions that match the input you post.
Maybe then someone can provide more help. |

Hi Jitu
You can convert the hex values to ASCII values using the editor.
Before going to convert the values into ASCII, you have to convert it to HEX. For converting the value into HEX, you can use the function HEX(Column name) in SQL or you can use a calculator available in the PC. For every EBCDIC character there should be two HEX representation. But you have shown only 3.
070
35C. Perhaps you may be using the decimal value 112 and 860.
Then go to the editor. Open your dataset ie. your SQL for updation.
Type HEX ON on the command prompt.
There you can see the conversion of your char into EBCDIC.
For Eg.
UPDATE T1 SET C1=234 will be converted as follows
EDCCEC4EF4ECE4CF7FFF
474 13503102530316234
Here you want to change the value 234 to ASCII value. For that convert 234 into hex and overtype the HEX value of 234(EA) in the place of F2.
EDCCEC4EF4ECE4CF7E
474 13503102530316A
Then change the mode, HEX OFF. You can see the conversion of HEX into ASCII value that you have modified.
Try it out and post your response.
Thanks and Regards
